Paige VanZant fans can expect more reality shows, new books following UFC on ESPN debut

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) expects to have one of its more mainstream faces participate in the promotion’s upcoming debut on ESPN, following a long (and uneven) run on FOX and its offshoot networks.

While “12 Gauge” continues to be coy about her opponent for the Jan. 2019 card, rumored to be former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) standout Rachel Ostovich, one thing she would confirm is her renewed commitment to projects outside of combat sports.

“I can’t wait to be on the next reality TV show that comes my way and I plan on putting out more books in the future,” VanZant told MMA Fighting. “The UFC came to me and asked when I would be able to fight again. I was fortunate enough that it coincided with the first-ever ESPN card. I can’t wait to be apart of such a ground-breaking moment in the UFC. It’s a true honor.” – Source
